4th Borderlands Forum in Tsushima
Island

The Slavic Research Centre at Hokkaido University
is extremely happy to announce the hosting of the Borderlands Forum in
Tsushima, the fourth one since the groundbreaking first borderlands
forum in Yonaguni, Okinawa in 2007, followed by the second one in
Ogasawara Islands in 2008 and the third in Nemuro in 2009. This is one
of the biggest forum to be held with the support of the Japan Society
for Island Studies and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. As Tsushima is
the window to the Korean peninsula, we have put together a panel of
academics and practitioners from Busan and Fukuoka, as well as a
roundtable of representatives from each local government and border
studies and island studies scholars from Japan and overseas. We have
also a special panel for students°« presentations on their findings of a
survey conducted in Tsushima. Please join us in this occasion and we
look forward to another great borderlands forum.
